    (1:21) I really agree with him on the part of the video where he talks about how the worst thing you can do, is set yourself goals. I agree with him, because once people set goals, They work so hard at one goal and reaching it, that when they get to it, they don't know what else to do after you reach your goal and they get lost in the process of getting there. Goals do get you away from yourself, and we must live life free of goals and just live for the moments, not knowing what is going to happen next.(3:05) I also really enjoyed the part where he said how one of his favorite quotes was "work is more fun than fun." I especially liked this quote also because I truly believe that their are too many people in the world who are just working for their money. Plus since I am getting ready for college and starting to plan what I am going to do with the rest of my life I am realizing that I don't want to have a normal desk job, because that is just not who I am. I want to have a fun job, a job where everyday I wake up and I want to go start working because I love what I do. I realized that I want to do something different with my life, as I grow up and I don't want to be the person who is just working for the paycheck and doesn't like the job so much. I really enjoyed watching this video because it was nice to hear these things and think about since we are now seniors and are thinking about our futures.

    I agree with the author and how he talks about how people are afraid to speak their mind when they are in a group and afraid of punishment.

    People should always be able to speak their mind and not be afraid of punishment. Also if their not afraid of punishment, their afraid of being made fun of.

    If people are able to speak their mind then they are able to make more logical decisions.

    I like the real life examples of how the author talks about how people end up at restaurants no one wanted to go to, even though they made the decision because they were in a big group.

    Single everyone out so they work harder! When in groups people don't try as hard.
